    Question

    Two trains β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ started from station

    β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’ towards station β€˜Q’ and β€˜P’ respectively at the same time. When they met after 14 hours, train β€˜B’ has travelled 130 km more than train β€˜A’. Find the distance travelled by train β€˜A’ in 7 hours if distance between both stations is 550 km.
    A 105 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 245 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 96 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 150 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let distance travelled by train β€˜A’ at the time of meet = β€˜x’ km So, distance travelled by train β€˜B’ at the time of meet = β€˜x + 130’ km According to question; x + x + 130 = 550 => 2x = 420 => x = 210 Distance travelled by train β€˜A’ in 14 hours = 210 km Speed of train β€˜A’ = 210/14 = 15 km/h Distance travelled by train β€˜A’ in 7 hours = 7 Γ— 15 = 105 km
